S1 EC1FICA1`ION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 689,194, dated December 17, 1901.

Application tiled September 7, 1901. Serial No.74.676. (No model.) y

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I,W1LL1AM WESLEY KAT- TERHEINRICH, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at New Knoxville, in the county of Auglaize and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Plow Attachment, of which the followingis a specification.

This invention relates generally to plows and more particularly to an improved construction of plow attachment whereby the ground turned by the plow is broken and smoothed and leveled.

The objects of the invention are to provide a device capable of performing these ope rations,

and one which shall be exceedingly cheap, simple, and eicient, and one which can be applied to any of the plows now in use.

With these objects in view the invention consists in the peculiar construction of the various parts and in their novel combination or arrangement, all of which will be fully described hereinafter and pointed out in the v claims.

In the drawings forming part of this specication, Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the practical application of my invention.

Fig. 2 is a top plan view. Fig. 3 is a detail section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a detail section on the line 4 4 of Fig. 2.

In carrying out my invention I employ a flat metal plate A, the forward end of which is curved upwardly, as shown at A'.' A metal bar B is attached to the plate upon the upper side adjacent tothe forward end, said bar extending upwardly, as shown at B'., and horizontally, as shown at B, the end thereof having an opening B, through which passes the eye C k.of the clip C', the said clip being secured to one of the handle members of the plow D.

E indicates a metal bar, which is attached also to the upper face of the plate A and extends diagonally froln the rear end to a point adjacent to the forward end. The bar is then curved upwardly, as shown at E', and at its forward end is provided with an opening E2, through which passes the eye C of the clip C', said clip being secured to the plow-beam at a pointin advance ot' the handles. The bars E PATENT OFFICE.

and B are braced by means of brace-bars F and 5o G,said bars F and G being connected to the bar E about midway its length by means of a bolt G', the rear ends of said bars F and G being connected toa horizontal portion B2 of the arm B by means of bolts F' and F2. A plate H, carrying a series of teeth H', is bolted to the upvper face of the plate A, the'teeth H projecting through openings A2 produced in the plate. The bolts H2, which connect the plates A and H, extend upwardly through the plates and carry the nuts Hs upon their upper ends. The teethH project a considerable distance `belowthe plate, thereby serving to break up the lumps of earth, the curved end of the plate serving to smooth down or level the earth prior to the action of the teeth.A

By means of this attachment rough ground turned up by the plow can be quickly and easily broken and smoothed or leveled, and it will of course be understood that the attachment can be used upon either a right or left hand plow. Y

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

k1. A plow attachment comprising a plate,

the forward end of which is curved upwardly,

the bars rigidly attached to the said plate, clips to which the said bars are attached and a plate carrying a series of teeth, said plate being attached to the main plate, the teeth projecting through said mainplate, substantially as described.

2. A plow attachment, comprising a plate, the forward end of which is curved upwardly, bars B and E rigidly attached to the said plate, said bars being braced by means of the bars F and G, the clips having eyes to which the ends of the bars B and E are connected and the plate H carrying teeth, said plate being adapted to be secured to the main plate, the teeth projecting through the said main plate, substantially as described.
